P&O Cruises
P&O Cruises is a British/American cruise line based at Carnival House in Southampton, England, operated by Carnival UK and owned by Carnival Corporation & plc. Originally a constituent of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, P&O Cruises is the oldest cruise line in the world, having operated the world's first passenger ships in the early 19th century. It is the sister company of, and retains strong links with, P&O Cruises Australia. P&O Cruises was de-merged from the P&O group in 2000, becoming a subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises, which subsequently merged with Carnival Corporation in 2003, to form Carnival Corporation & plc. P&O Cruises currently operates eight cruise ships with a total passenger capacity of 14,970 and a 5% market share of all cruise lines worldwide. Its most recent vessel, MV Britannia, joined the fleet in March 2015.
History of P&O passenger services
19th century
P&O Cruises originates from 1822, with the formation of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company, which began life as a partnership between Brodie McGhie Willcox, a London ship broker, and Arthur Anderson, a sailor from the Shetland Isles. The company first operated a shipping line with routes between England and the Iberian Peninsula, adopting the name Peninsular Steam Navigation Company. In 1837, the company won a contract to deliver mail to the Peninsula, with its first mail ship, RMS Don Juan, departing from London on 1 September 1837. The ship collected mail from Falmouth four days later, however it hit rocks on the homeward bound leg of the trip. The company’s reputation survived only because all objects including mail were rescued.

The Fountain Of Youth
by: Boy CrisisYour mouth is moving
It's saying what I'm saying
We have a plan
We have a prayer
We have a plaything
We have a ritual known as mating
Everything is physical and usually amazing
I'll live your pleasure so you don't have to
Your pleasure is our labor is our love is our castle
We are a partially decided reaction
The future's so heavy cause it's always gonna happen
Oh, where are we now?
We're in a new place
Above it isn't bright
Below it isn't dark
Everywhere we go it's just a walk in the park
The Fountain of Youth is forever
We come apart, we come together
There's nothing hotter than a son and a daughter
Swimming in the water with no mother and no father
Sister, sister, let's live forever
You're mouth is breathing
It's breathing what I'm breathing
I'm pretty sure your eyes are seeing what my eyes are
seeing
Am I correct or do I need a correction?
Every single part of you is built like a weapon
We got whistles
We got bells
We got guns that shoot themselves
We got the earth and the earth is flat
We got the pictures of the pictures and the pictures of
the...
Oh, where are we now?
We're in a new place
Above it isn't bright
Below it isn't dark
Everywhere we go it's just a walk in the park
The Fountain of Youth is forever
We come apart, we come together
There's nothing hotter than a son and a daughter
Swimming in the water with no mother and no father
Sister, sister, let's live forever
Ten thousand nights without rest
Sipping from some mother's breast
She doesn't glimmer like a gem
But she's a friend
The Fountain of Youth is forever
We come apart, we come together
There's nothing hotter than a son and a daughter
Swimming in the water with no mother and no father
